Importance of Biochemical Testing
Michelle Robinson M.A. (Cantab), Dip. ION, Nutritional Therapist
Functional testing of blood, urine, saliva and hair samples, using the most up-to-date technology, can sometimes help to get to the root of a person's health problems very fast by identifying imbalances and dysfunctions in normal physiology.
Some tests can be arranged through your G.P, but if this is not possible, then we can discuss the benefits and costs of using one of several highly reputable private laboratories.
You can use our online forms to contact Appetite for Health to discuss your own in-depth analysis.
Examples of tests include:
- Allergy and intolerance testing to speed up identification of possible food and inhalant allergens that may be contributing to a variety of health symptoms.
- Male and female hormone profiles to identify hormone imbalances.
- Thyroid screen to assess whether imbalances of thyroid hormones are responsible for health symptoms such as weight gain and fatigue.
- Liver detoxification capacity profile helps to assess how well the liver can convert and clear toxins from the body.
- Hair mineral analysis to provide indications of mineral imbalances; deficiencies, and excesses of essential minerals and toxic metals. It also acts as a good indicator of many metabolic processes occurring within the body.
- Comprehensive stool analysis, to assess the client’s ability to digest, absorb and metabolise nutrients, as well as report on levels of bacteria, yeast and parasites which may be contributing to health problems.
The client is responsible for keeping their G.P. informed of any tests that are carried out privately.
